Localities

Rooted in the principles of proximity, accessibility, and community engagement, the locality model seeks to enhance the responsiveness, effectiveness, and relevance
of social care provision by decentralising services and fostering strong partnerships at the neighbourhood level.

Key elements of our strategy include:

1. Proximity and Accessibility: Service hubs strategically located within each locality to ensure that support services are easily accessible to local residents. By bringing services closer to where people live, work, and socialise, we aim to reduce barriers to access, improve convenience, and enhance engagement with individuals and families in need of support.
2. Tailored Support and Personalisation: Support services should the unique needs and circumstances of specific localities. For example demographic profiles, cultural diversity, and community priorities. This will involve co-designing services with local residents, conducting needs assessments, and collaborating with community organisations to deliver targeted interventions that address local issues.
3. Community Engagement and Participation: Local residents, community groups, and stakeholders are involved in the planning, delivery, and evaluation of social care services. We aim to build trust, strengthen social networks, and empower residents to take ownership of their wellbeing and that of their neighbours.
4. Holistic and Integrated Approaches: Address the interconnected needs of individuals and families within local communities. This may involve collaborating with health, education, housing, and employment services to provide wraparound support that addresses social, economic, and health-related determinants of wellbeing.
5. Building Community Resilience and Networks: This includes facilitating peer support groups, neighbourhood watch schemes, and community-led initiatives aimed at promoting social inclusion, reducing isolation, and enhancing collective wellbeing.
6. Data-informed Decision-making: Monitor outcomes, and evaluate the effectiveness of services within specific localities. We aim to identify trends, allocate resources efficiently, and tailor interventions to address local needs and priorities.

Through the implementation of the locality model, we are committed to enhancing the quality, accessibility, and relevance of social care services to local residents in Haringey. By fostering strong partnerships, empowering communities, and tailoring support to meet the unique needs of specific localities, we aim to build stronger, more resilient neighbourhoods where all residents have the opportunity to thrive.
